English Connection
Adjectives are words that describe nouns. In English, the adjective almost always comes before the noun.
In Spanish, the adjective usually comes after the noun
Example
Key: noun adjective
the serious students
los estudiantes serios
Noun-Adjective Agreement
In Spanish, adjectives match the gender and number of the nouns they describe.
Here’s how…
Noun- Adjective Agreement
Adjectives that end in –e (for example, inteligente) match BOTH genders.
Example: El maestro inteligenteLa maestra inteligente
Noun-Adjective Agreement
Many adjectives that end in a consonant match both genders.
Example el amigo jovenla amiga joven
Some adjectives that end in a consonant add –a to form the feminine singular. These exceptions have to be memorized!
Example el chico trabajadorla chica trabajadora
Forming Plural Adjectives
To make an adjective plural, add -s if it ends in a vowel; add -es if it ends in a consonant
Examples Las chicas trabajadoras Los chicos trabajadores
So… alta, alto, altas, and altos ALL mean tall… just depends on gender of noun
Dos preguntas…
Two important questions to ask every time…Is the noun MASCULINE or
FEMININE?
Is the noun SINGULAR or PLURAL?
